Hi,

In my Access 2002 I have a form with many text boxes that seems to flash
every second or two I am not sure if my text box that shows the time (Hour,
Minute, Seconds) is the problem. It seems to be pronounce in my work
computer compared to my home computer. My home computer has more memory and
speed. How can I stop this flash? Thank you in advance

It seems likely to have something to do with your textbox "clock", and
whatever code is running in the form's Timer event to keep it current.
Please describe the text box and its properties, and if I'm right about
there being code in the form's Timer event, post that code.
 
Yes, it is probably due to running the timer and displaying the time in the
one textbox. It will become more pronounced if the timer function is doing
more than just updating the time display. The faster the computer, the less
of this you'll see. I have found that >sometimes< changing the Caption of a
label causes less flashing than updating a textbox. Also, you'll see less
flashing if you update the textbox in the timer code than if you update
something else and let a calculated control source on the textbox update the
textbox.
